Here is what I get if I try using the directive inside the following .htaccess file: public_html/ident/.htaccess: ------------------------------------------------------------------------- AddType application/x-httpd-cgi CGI IdentityCheck On ------------------------------------------------------------------------- error.log: ------------------------------------------------------------------------- [Thu Feb 5 13:03:10 1998] [alert] (2)No such file or directory: [...] public_html/ident/.htaccess: IdentityCheck not allowed here ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Now, it seems the directory got enough privileges to add the cgi type, but not to enable an ident... At the very least, I feel this as a shortcoming in the docs, which states to the opposite of what happens, or refrains from stating which options you need to be able to enable IdentityCheck on a granular, per-directory way.
